Owner of the dog Sharon Foster, of High Road, Whaplode, was today, Thursday, April 19, ordered to pay the victim £2,000 in compensation.

Tony Stanford, prosecuting, told Lincoln Crown Court: "Miss Ormes was bitten by the dog. She was taken to hospital where she was found to have five open wounds. She was treated and required 50 stitches to her arm."

He told the court that the dog also killed a neighbour's cat while it was out.

Sharon Foster was later interviewed by police and said she had put the dog out on its chain after arriving home.

Mr Stanford said: "She said that a couple of hours later she went out and found the dog was missing.

"The chain had snapped and the dog escaped on to the road. The dog was an Akita-type dog aged two or three years old."

Sharon Foster, 39, of High Road, Whaplode, admitted being the owner of a dog which was dangerously out of control when it caused injury as a result of the incident on 18 May last year.
